Major Servais was an unarmed monitor with the European Community Monitor Mission in Eastern Slavonia, Croatia and Northern Bosnia from September 1991 to May 1992. Because of his experience in peacekeeping operations, he was appointed Officer-in-charge of the Regional coordination centre, responsible for eight monitoring teams. He deployed the teams most effectively, conducting the most dangerous missions himself. Leading by example, he often exposed himself to considerable danger. His outstanding performance was an inspiration for his subordinates and led to an uncommonly high standard of efficiency achieved by the teams under his command.
